"Sya is a miracle worker. I injured my lower back so badly that I couldn't stand upright or walk without intense pain. After 2 days with no improvement, I began researching online and saw that Urban Oasis makes "house calls" so I called them immediately. Sya was extremely sympathetic to my situation and recognizing the severity of my pain, she rearranged her schedule to be able to see me that same day. I could feel the difference in my back after just 1 session and I immediately scheduled another appointment with her for the next day. After 2 sessions I could walk almost normally, and after 3 sessions and lots of bed rest and stretching I was fully mobile again and pain free. Sya was always professional but also very warm and personal, and you could tell she really cared about her patients and her work. I would recommend Sya to anyone and I plan on seeing her for preventative care on a regular basis."

"I just had the best massage ever from Sya. She was very sweet and gentle the whole time. I haven't had a massage in a long time and I would definitely come back to see her. The room was very peaceful, it smelled really good: a mix of herbs, and she played sounds of birds which I had no idea would be so relaxing. All in all it was a great experience. I am 5 months pregnant too which makes the massage different because of the position I had to lay in, certain areas that cannot be massaged, etc. But Sya is certified to give prenatal massage and she really made me feel relaxed and at ease. I was comfortable in the position as well. I definitely recommend Sya at Urban Oasis for a great massage experience."

" Sya is an incredible masseuse. She is great at a range of techniques - I really appreciate the incorporation of Thai massage/stretching into the session. She is also a great listener and generally a really nice person to be around."

"I was in San Francisco on business and had the worst neck pain imaginble. In desperation, I contacted the concierge at the hotel and asked if she could recommend a masseuse. Sya showed up and gave me the best massage I've ever had. The next day the pain was alleviated and I was a much happier person! I seriously wished I lived in SF so I could see her more often!"

-Connie, Manhattan Beach, CA

"Sya is amazing, a true healer! I have had many massages from all over the world but this was the massage I have been searching for. Her incredibly calm spirit combined with her use of a variety of techniques provided me the relief I needed. I highly recommend Sya. Because massages are a little pricey in the Bay Area, be sure to ask her about specials for your first appointment. Enjoy..."

-Christina, San Francisco, CA

"The moment you meet Sya, you get the sense that you will be whisked away to a state of relaxation and bliss. Sya has a very soothing and compassionate spirit. She genuinely cares for her clients, and is open to customizing the session to meet the client's needs. She is also very intuitive, sensing the areas that need attention. I appreciate how she incorporates a variety of modalities in her work. Her touch is amazing!"

-Nicole, San Francisco, CA

"Two days ago I received my first massage ever - at the calming, assuring hands of Sya. She did a magnificent job - at the end of the session I was as relaxed as I have ever been - and I wished the session had gone on forever. Sya and her environment are relaxing and extremely professional. The results of her deep massage on the bodies muscle are beyond outstanding. I unhesitatingly recommend Sya to anyone!"

-Mike, Elizabethtown, KY

"Sya is amazing: warm and receptive, very intuitive, knowledgable and highly skilled. Her space is one of the most calming massage rooms I have been in (sanctuary!). I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! Especially folks in need of someone who can go really deep."

-Kay, San Francisco, CA

"One of the best massages I've had in a long time. Sya really payed attention to the areas needing the most work, and did a great job with opening up and doing some stretches to target the hard to reach pain in my hips. She is very thorough and I left her space floating on a cloud (which is a state I hope to achieve with any massage, but rarely do). Thanks Sya;)"

-Michelle, San Francisco, CA

"Relaxed, cared for and peaceful is how I always leave Sya's massage sessions. I've been to Sya now many times over the last few months and its this same consistent experience that has me return over and over again. She can be both gentle and strong - whatever is required for the moment. I love her energy too and how several times when I felt that I was really needing a massage, she went out of her way to fit me into her busy schedule. I felt like she was really looking out for me. I highly recommend her."

-Charles, San Francisco, CA

"Having a massage with Sya was exactly what I needed to come down from the energy of the previous weekend workshop at OneTaste.
When I came in I felt like I was buzzing with an energy that made me restless and anxious.
The first thing she did was to talk to me, assessing where I was and what I really wanted. I felt how I was relaxing already, trusting the easy loving energy that was coming from her. The massage was bliss. I felt like she was meeting me exactly where I needed her to be, gentle, yet strong, with a massage that left me grounded, peaceful and energized.
I am looking forward to my next massage with Sya, knowing that whatever my need is in the moment, she will meet me there with love and warmth."

-Armelle, San Francisco, CA

"I was used leaving a massage with my body feeling just the same as before. But Sya's ability to integrate various modalities into a session is amazing and goes well beyond any other massage I've had. She is able to actually work out tension and stiffness leaving you refreshed and ready for more of whatever life may bring."

-Brian, Oakland, CA

"From the moment you meet Sya you are overwhelmed by her positive energy and kind spirit; she puts you instantly at ease. Sya brings together an experience which is completely soothing,though at times amazingly intense. She has the strength and skill to work out those deep down aches, but always senses when when it's time to back off just before making me flinch. My experiences with Sya are the most satisfying of any masseuse I've seen."

-Bill Nicholas, San Francisco, CA
